This is a matchup between the New York Red Bulls and St. Louis City, kicking off tomorrow at 08:30 Korea time. The two teams have been in completely different form lately, so this should make for a pretty intriguing game.
Away side St. Louis City are riding an unbeaten run, with 6 wins and 4 draws in their last 10 matches. Their attack has been clicking, scoring 23 goals during that stretch. Home side New York Red Bulls, by contrast, have managed just 3 wins in their last 10 and conceded 16 goals, leaving some questions about their defensive organization.
In the end, the match may come down to whether New York Red Bulls can use their home advantage and disrupt St. Louis's smooth passing and movement with an aggressive high press. If St. Louis can play through that intense pressure and take the lead with their trademark fluid combinations, New York Red Bulls could fall into a vicious cycle of pushing their line too high and leaving space in behind. On the other hand, if New York Red Bulls can slow the game down with a stubborn, compact defense and look for a moment from a set piece, they have every chance of making this a tight contest.
